For the past four years, I've enjoyed bringing Miami's best and brightest together through Pecha Kucha Miami whether it be at Lester's Coffee - Wynwood, Fairchild Tropical Garden, The AIA National Convention, The Bass Museum, and The Wolfsonian- FIU. I celebrated my twentieth event December 6th, 2012 on the theme of Contemporary Art in the Digital Age for Art Basel Miami Beach with speakers flying in from as far away as New York to present to a full house. After the event, everyone who attended continued their "chit chats" on the roof top terrace where DJ Natalia took us well into the night. Now I'm looking forward to the next twenty events, starting this coming year working with new presenters at new venues on topics such as sustainability, work process and practice, social innovation, and resilience... PRESONAL NOTE - My biggest Pecha Kucha Miami fans are my parents. Bless them!
